Info about Makonde:

Tanzanian art is almost as fascinatingly diverse as Tanzanian culture(s—all 120+ of them!), but certain styles are especially well-known. One of the most immediately recognizable, and most widely admired, is the wood-carving of the Makonde people.The Makonde traditionally lived along the Mueda Plateau, in southEastern Tanzania and northern Mozambique, where historians believe they originally settled during the 1700s and 1800s. Since at least that time (and likely many years before) they’ve been producing intricate carvings. The carvings often feature figures (a Makonde myth says that the mother of all the Makonde was originally a wooden carving that came to life), but they also include masks.
